Last nights FOTD.

Last night Graeme and I decided to go out for some drinks in Leeds, so I thought I'd put up some pictures of my outfit & makeup.
I basically just wore the same outfit as yesterday, the peter pan collared crop top and black bodycon skirt, but put my cameo necklace on and some lovely Topshop heart suspenders.

I got them a while ago, probably in October/November but I love them! I don't like the Henry Holland suspender tights because I think they look odd (why the three suspender straps?!) but these are so cute.
I also added some eyeshadow from my Too Faced Natural Eye Palette and a touch of Topshop Brighton Rock lipstick.

Planning on doing absolutely nothing today! I love sundays. 

LEEDS!

Apologies for the lack of updates! I've been busy, busy, busy. As some of you know, I was leaving at home in Aberdeenshire after a rough few months in Leeds. However, I felt isolated and cut off living in the countryside and since I had no car, my life was literally non-existent! My boyfriend, pictured above :) asked me to come down and stay with him in Leeds as his flatmate was moving out. So I'm back! I didn't enjoy Leeds first time round as I was homesick and I got two jobs I despised, but I'm feeling good about it now. 

Graemes lease ends in March so I would like to move back to Scotland then but we'll see. 

We went out on Saturday night to a restaurant which is famous for being good, it's called Salvos and it's in Headingley. It has appeared on Gordon Ramseys The F Word, we went with two other couples that we know and I can honestly say it was the best meal of my life! 

I really recommend a visit if you're ever in Leeds (the lamb is incredible!). 

In other news, I have an essay to do for my course so I should really get that done soon... or at least make a start on it. My boyfriend doesn't have any gigs for a couple of weeks so it's lovely to just stay home with him and not having to deal with him jetting off to lovely places without me! 

We're going to London on friday as some of our friends are DJing so I will post some pictures of that, I'm so excited! I love London and we have lots of friends there we rarely see. I neeeed to find an outfit though. I bought this top from ebay, as I had seen it on Katy Perry but never actually seen it in Topshop. I am in love with it, but I have no idea what to wear it with! 

Isn't it lovely? I'm sure everyone and their mum has seen it before, but I'm really glad to have snapped it up at the very reasonable price of £13! 

If you have any suggestions on what I could wear this with, that would be appreciated! It's slightly cropped but I don't want to show off my love handles a'thankyaa. 

I've been having serious issues with my skin as of late, I've never had perfect skin but I go through stages of it being nice and then being completely disgusting, with breakouts all over the shop. The first thing I did when I got to Leeds was head to the Liz Earle shop and get her Hot Cloth Cleanser and the Skin Tonic. I also got a complimentary trial moisturiser for spending so much. I've never tried Liz Earles products before but now I have been converted. If you haven't tried these products, you absolutely must! My skin is looking a heap better (hopefully you can see that from the picture at the top...)

Shop, shop, shop.

So, on monday I decided to go shopping in Aberdeen, the nearest city to me. I always find it's really good shopping in Aberdeen, it has all the shops you need (including a new Topshop) and it's not like shopping in one of the bigger cities. I find when I shop in Leeds, Glasgow or Edinburgh that all the popular items are gone really quickly. In Aberdeen, the competition is less fierce which means you can usually find a lot of stuff which has been sold out in the larger cities and online. 
As it was nearing the end of the sales, I didn't bother much with them. I wanted the new season items! 

So I got the Too Faced Natural Eye Palette and also a YSL Touche Eclat (first time purchase!) I haven't actually tried the palette yet, as I haven't really been anywhere that required eyeshadow. Really excited about it though, I love natural eye makeup!

I got a new boyfriend-style blazer, I've been looking for a new one for a while now and the Topshop version is around £60. This one is actually from F+F at Tesco (ha!) and was a tenth of the price (on sale at £6!) it looks really lovely on. I think I'll wear it out with a coloured mini dress and shoe boots. I also got this cute little sequin love heart clutch for £10 in the New Look sale. Adorable! 

I picked up this cute black skirt at H&M, but I don't think I'll keep it. I have so many black skirts and this is just like every other one I have! I also got the belt from H&M, it's an elasticated waist belt which clips together at the birds noses. I really love it, I love swallows and this will go with so many outfits! The little clutch bag is from the New Look sale at just £2. 

This dress is also from New Look (needs an iron eh. I'm so messy, I have a floordrobe) I'm really, really into Peter Pan collars at the moment. I think they're absolutely adorable. Coral, I have decided, is my colour of this season.

Another top and shirt from New Look. The first top also has a Peter Pan collar and is so lovely! I plan to wear this over a black body con skirt with thick black tights and some brogues. The shirt I'll probably wear tucked into a skirt with a tan thin belt around it and some gold jewellery and brogues again. Or with a pair of skinnies. It is quite sheer so I might have to wear a lace top underneath or something. 

I also bought this top from New Look although I think I will have to change it for another size as it's a bit too big! 

In other news, I got my delivery from ASOS!

I got a Models Own gift set, featuring an eyeshadow brush, eyelashes and a little pot of eyeshadow; a Yes to Carrots face mask; Soap & Glory Fab Pore Cleanser; and travel straighteners. 

As I already mentioned, my boyfriend is a DJ and I often travel to gigs with him (Paris, Barcelona x2, Palma, Moscow, St. Petersburg and all over UK just last year!) and I'm scared my GHDs will get smashed up so I'm hoping these mini straighteners will be good enough to travel with. 

Sorry for the excessive pictures, this was a massive post!
